OK, I'm starting to get the idea.  I understand what twin cam rims are 
like.  I assume the spare mounts the same as a non-twin cam.  It protrudes 
through the wall from the boot into the area behind the seats where the 
hood is stored, right?  People seem to be mostly suggesting mini spares 
that are full diameter, but narrower, like used on many contemporary cars 
today.  The inflatable type I'm thinking of are smaller diameter because 
they're sort of "collapsed" and their diameter extends when inflated.  Are 
you trying to avoid sticking the tire through the "slot" at all?  I'm 
afraid I don't have an answer for you regarding a suitable model, but I'm 
just trying to understand what you want to do.
